Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. While Cheng Xianqing was still hoping that Park Zhicheng could share the pressure for them, Park Zhicheng already had the idea of retreating.
The 100,000-strong army that killed Dugu and Zhang Yuewan followed the Xijiang River all the way to the Luzhou area. Many of the ships on both sides of the Xijiang River were destroyed by the Huai River Navy. Jinhua Mitsukoshi's ships were not many in the first place, and Zhang Yuewan's
His thoughts were obviously affected by the Loop. After being swept away by Zhang Yuewan, not only the boats were burned to pieces, but also the area along the south bank of the Xijiang River was completely filled with corpses and blood flowed into the river. Even the river water was dyed red. Although it was a bit redder than before.
A few days ago, when Jinhua Mitsukoshi and other coalition forces were massacred, the color was lighter, but the smell of blood still made Park Zhicheng's mind sway for a while.
Luo Pingjiang led 50,000 Jinhua soldiers and 100,000 allied troops of the four southern Yunnan tribes who were desperately resisting Liu Nanshang's Suzaku Army and Li Xiaomo's Qinchuan soldiers near Wanhua County in central Xingzhou. Perhaps he wanted to let Haotian see them.
Strength, maybe they are really suitable for fighting in the Jiangnan Third Road area. Although Luo Pingjiang's 150,000 coalition troops are defending the city, unfortunately the defense line is already shaky. If Pu Zhicheng had not issued a death order, Luo Pingjiang would have been unable to support it.
live.
The water on Dahu Road was really beyond my expectations. Although I knew that Ouyang Jingzhong was not an easy bone to chew, I never expected that this old man would be so tenacious. The combat effectiveness of the Southern Military Region was also completely beyond expectations.
Exceeded my own expectations.
Qingfeng's Southern Military Region initially had 300,000 troops, but now only less than 50,000 regular troops are left. However, as the attacker, the Holy Sect of Paradise paid a price of about 80,000 to 100,000 people, and at least four ethnic groups in southern Yunnan died in the battle.
20,000. The 400,000 Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces led by him had more than 80,000 killed and countless injured. Now, less than 300,000 can be dragged onto the battlefield. In addition, Gong Hai was killed and scattered by the Hetao Division.
With a total of 50,000 soldiers, the current coalition army has lost nearly half. Thinking that the Hetao army is trying to cross the river, even if Park Zhicheng is a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles, he still has a headache.
We can't accompany the Holy Sect of Paradise to waste their troops like this. Park Zhicheng thought in his heart, anyway, he will make enough money to make up for all the losses this time. Whether it is property, food or slaves, most of them have been sent back to the country.
, why stay here and drink the northwest wind with the Holy Sect of Paradise? Taking advantage of the fact that the passage from Dahu Road to southern Yunnan is relatively smooth, simply withdraw the army into the country. Anyway, the future is long, and the Hetao cannot stay on Jiangnan Third Road for a long time.
There are still opportunities.
Thinking of this, Pu Zhicheng finally made up his mind: "Come here, pass the order to this general. General An Yuehe Qianyun and General Qi Yue Feng Sanlang led the army to withdraw first to Jingzhou, South Yunnan Road, General Luo Pingjiang, let him and Dian
The allied forces of the four southern ethnic groups resisted for two days. After two days, the army waited for an opportunity to withdraw to the South Yunnan Road."
Staff officer Ma Fangning asked cautiously: "General, should we retreat now?"
Pu Zhicheng nodded. The Qingfeng Alliance should be left to the Holy Sect of Bliss. They are allies, not friends. Brothers will not accompany us on this kind of back-and-forth thing.
Park Zhicheng's luck is not good, or it may be that the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces have been on the back foot recently. Before retreating, Park Zhicheng sorted out all the problems that his army might encounter when retreating. It was the navy and army that even killed Dugu in Hetao.
He thought everything was safe, but when He Qianyun and Feng Sanlang's army withdrew to the Jingzhou area and reached Dayao Mountain, a strategic location from Luzhou to Jingzhou, something unexpected happened.
"How come there is an enemy ambush in Dayao Mountain? Which army is it from Qingfeng? Is it the Qinchuan soldiers or the Suzaku Army who arrived here first?" I heard that He Qianyun and Feng Sanlang were blocked by the enemy in Da Yao Mountain.
In the Yaoshan area, Pu Zhicheng's face suddenly changed, and he stared at the messenger fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The messenger swallowed in fear. Although the general rarely killed his own people, he was absolutely merciless when killing others. I hope he is not the unlucky one today: "General, it's not the Qinchuan soldiers and
Qingfeng’s Suzaku Army is the army of the Song family in Yizhou. Judging from the standard of their army, it should be the most elite Bai’er Army of the Song family!”
Pu Zhicheng's expression changed again. Why did the White-Ear Army come to join in the attack? Aren't they at odds with all the forces within Qingfeng some time ago? Besides, what's the benefit of them blocking there?
The most elite White Ear Legion was brought out.
Pu Zhicheng slowly closed his eyes, his face gradually returned to calm, and his mind kept sorting out the topography of the Dayao Mountain area.
Diannan Road, Dahu Road and Jiangnan Road are collectively called Jiangnan Three Roads, mainly because they are located south of the river and are connected in terrain. However, compared with Dahu Jiangnan, Diannan Road is obviously much special. Dahu Road and
Jiangnan Road is mainly an impact fan plain formed by the alluvial deposits of the Dajiangxi River and its tributaries, while South Yunnan Road is the transition zone where the Bloody Plateau extends to the east. In the western areas of Xingzhou and Luzhou on Dahu Road, dense jungles and valleys crisscross the
The mountainous terrain gradually transitions into the vast plains. Dayao Mountain is a relatively steep mountain in the west of Luzhou.
Due to the mountainous terrain, there are not many major transportation routes in southern Yunnan, and Dayao Mountain guards the main gateway from Jingzhou to Luzhou. If you don’t want to walk a lot from Luzhou to Jingzhou,
If you are careful, taking Dayao Mountain is naturally the shortest way. Therefore, when He Qianyun and Feng Sanlang retreated, they naturally chose this place as the main breakthrough point. However, no one expected that when they first arrived here, the Song family
However, the White-Ear Legion fought out.
"How is the battle in Dayao Mountain?" Pu Zhicheng asked.
"The White-Er Corps attacked very resolutely and occupied a favorable location. Although General He Qianyun and General Feng Sanlang took the lead, they were driven down by the other party in the end." The messenger said hesitantly.
Pu Zhicheng waved his hand: "Forget it, let them postpone the attack until my general's army arrives, so as not to increase casualties."
The Yizhou Song Family's White-Er Corps was the Qingfeng Empire's first-class mountain combat regiment and infantry combat regiment. Especially when Dugu Yuming served as the deputy commander of the White-Er Corps, its reputation resounded throughout the entire country.
Qingfeng Empire. But later Dugu Yuming went to Hetao, and the White's Army was severely damaged by Zhu Zhaoyan's Elegy attack, so its reputation declined. However, as the leading army of the Qingfeng Empire, the White's Army's combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. Now the opponent has occupied
The location is advantageous, and the combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than our own. If we attack by force, we don't know how much it will cost.
What benefits did Qingfeng give to the Song family, and what motives did the Song family have to send their own army to fight so hard? Isn't An Yongchang active in the Song family? Why did he do such a big thing?
You don’t know? Park Zhicheng was puzzled.
The setting sun is like blood, and the Mengtong Pass in Dayao Mountain, which has been fighting for a day, gradually returns to calm. Looking from the mountain, the mountains and fields below are filled with the remains of soldiers who died in battle. However, there are not many soldiers wearing white clothes and armor here.
.Obviously after taking advantage of the defense, the casualties suffered by the White Ear Legion were not large.
In a temporary command post, Song Junlin's handsome eyebrows and starry eyes were looking at the battlefield in trance. Today is the second day that the White Ear Army intercepted the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces here, and during these two days, the White Ear Army at least
It caused more than 30,000 casualties to the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces below.
"Your Majesty, the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces have retreated. It seems that their attack today has come to an end." Lieutenant General Song Ping'an said to Song Junlin in white clothes and armor with a look of joy on his face.
Song Junlin nodded imperceptibly. Wherever he looked, veteran general Song Zhengdong was instructing the soldiers below to clean up the battlefield, and Song Wuke was inspecting the armaments. Although the combat effectiveness of the Mitsubishi Allied Forces was unsightly, after being forced into a desperate situation,
It still caused some trouble for the White Ear Legion. In addition, in order to hide their traces, the White Ear Legion did not carry a lot of strategic materials this time. Fortunately, the jungle here is dense, and you can also use local materials to make arrow rolling logs.
This somewhat relieved Song Junlin's pressure.
Perhaps, the real critical moment will be when Park Zhicheng's army arrives.
"Your Majesty, the Qinchuan Li family's army is only eighty miles away from us. If they march in a hurry, they can arrive in just one day. Don't we really want to be on guard?" Song Ping'an hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Song Junlin shook his head: "No, we are still more or less allies now. Li Xiaomo will not be so ignorant."
After all these days of conflict, the relationship between the Song family and the Li family has become incompatible. However, both parties are cunning and cunning characters. After the truce, both parties tacitly restrained their actions. Song Zhengfeng felt that he could not say anything
Swallowing the Li family, the Li family was not very sure of revenge, so both sides had to restrain each other. This time the Song family quietly sent out troops without informing the Li family and the court, but they thought that the other party would feel the goodwill on their side.
Although the two parties will not restore their previous relationship, it can somewhat ease the current deadlock.
"Let General Song Zhengdong patrol closely to prevent night sneak attacks by the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces. Let the brothers cheer up. We want to show Jinhua Mitsukoshi that our Song family's army is not a vegetarian. We must also let them know that they have taken advantage of our Song family.
, they will have to pay the price after all!" Song Junlin said fiercely.
Yes, the Song family wanted to make Jinhua Mitsukoshi pay the price he deserved. More than half a year ago, under Cassimbas's secret design, Jinhua Mitsukoshi's instigation and full cooperation, the Song family father and son were also stunned by the benefits.
Head, actually led the entire army to attack Qinchuan Road. As a result, the already good trend in the southeastern region of the empire was once again plunged into the quagmire, and he became the target of all forces within the empire. Although the people plundered from the Li family in Qinchuan
The wealth indeed made the Song family father and son very excited, but the negative impact it brought was unparalleled. Thinking that all this was caused by Jinhua Mitsukoshi's instigation, how could the Song family father and son, who had always been cunning and vengeful, willing to let it go, naturally wanted to arrest them
Take the opportunity to take revenge.
No one would have thought that the Song family would quietly send troops south. Even An Yongchang, who was hovering around the Song family, did not expect that everything seemed to happen so suddenly, without any warning at all.
"What's the situation like with An Yongchang?" Song Junlin opened his mouth and asked.
Song Ping'an answered honestly: "We are still negotiating with the prince. He hopes that we can settle the past with the imperial court and the Li family and face the increasingly corrupt situation of the empire together."
Song Junlin smiled coldly: To put an end to the past feud? Then the first step is to return all the wealth that the Song family plundered from the Li family's territory. But now that the wealth has gone into his own pocket, will he spit it out? An Yongchang, this person
He is obviously a spy of the Eastern Japanese, but it is a pity that Liu Xian, a fool, still treats him as a treasure. It is a pity that he cannot kill him yet, otherwise it will give the court an excuse to attack him.
At this moment, Song Wuke straightened his back and walked towards Song Junlin, holding a letter in his hand.
"Your Majesty, there is a reply from Li Xiaomo." Song Wuke handed the letter to Song Junlin with both hands. His hands were full of bursting veins, and his palms were dry and strong. This was an old man in his seventies, but
Originally at his age, he should have been retiring at home, but now he was still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.
The Song family in Yizhou has few military generals. Except for one Song Zhengyu who is pretty good at it, the only people who can support the Song family's appearance are Song Lingyun, Song Wuke, Song Zhengdong and a few other old people. These old people are all in their sixth or seventh grade.
At ten years old, although they cannot compare with the older and stronger generation of famous generals such as Ouyang Jingzhong, their battlefield experience is still extremely rich. However, Dugu does not like these old people very much. In his opinion, these old people in the battlefield
Although he has rich experience, he is very cautious in using troops. He can defend according to dangers, but he cannot take charge of it alone.
Song Junlin hurriedly read Li Xiaomo's letter, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He knew that Li Xiaomo would not care too much about him at this time, and that was indeed what Li Xiaomo meant. Let's not talk about the grudges between the two families for the time being.
The current targets are Park Zhicheng's Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces and the tribal private soldiers of the four ethnic groups in southern Yunnan. I hope that I can focus on the overall situation.
Song Wuke stood beside Song Junlin without hesitation. Looking at Song Junlin's face, Song Wuke also smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Qin Chuan seems to have agreed to our unanimous proposal to the outside world."
Song Junlin nodded: "Yes. Frankly speaking, I really don't agree with leading the White Ear Army south this time. This is our head army after all, but since it is here, we must show the prestige of our Song family and let the surrounding people
People know that our Song family is not someone to be trifled with."
